POD Features and Benefits

What Makes POD Different?

Penguin Solutions POD is a secure HPC compute environment that offers features and benefits that other providers do not:

  • Runs HPC native
  • Expert HPC assistance included
  • No charge for moving large data sets in and out of the cloud
  • No need to custom-build an HPC environment
  • Popular HPC tools and libraries are pre-installed and readily available, alongside schedulers and cluster managers
  • High-performance file system with high-speed, low-latency interconnects

With POD, you can ensure that you have the most secure environment possible to protect your data, secure your identity, and restrict access to authorized users only.

Single-Tenant Compute Environment

Unlike multi-tenant cloud environments, POD’s compute environment is segregated to protect your privacy.

Layers of Physical Security

POD is hosted at a highly secure Tier III facility that undergoes an annual SSAE18 SOC 2 Type II audit.

Data Security

All customer data lives solely in our U.S.-based Tier III facility. Customers have complete control over the access and persistence of their cloud data.

Encrypted Connections

All access to POD uses secure, industry-standard, encrypted protocols: HTTPS+SSL, SSH through AES-128 or AES-256, or customized private VPN connections through AES-256.

“POD’s scalable, bare metal clusters enable us to concentrate on our customers and how to provide them the best solution, rather than having to purchase, run, and maintain our own HPC assets.”

“The sufficient cluster size has enabled us to to support multiple projects simultaneously, sometimes bursting to 5,000 cores overnight for a large suite of analysis.”

Transparent Pricing

Traditional on-premises clusters involve extensive capital and operational expenses that can add up quickly. From purchasing a modest HPC cluster to data center operations, power and cooling requirements, and administration expenses, the conventional approach is far from inexpensive.

With POD, you only pay for the resources you use. Our simple pricing model makes it easy to forecast costs and set usage limits to ensure you are never over budget. There are no hidden costs or extra fees, no extra charge for expert HPC support, and no additional expenses for standard network bandwidth.

Support

Leverage our two decades of experience building and optimizing HPC environments and applications with free support from our HPC experts. They will assist you in running applications, managing workflows, and getting the best POD customer experience possible.
